Hi. I understand there's a blood test -- CA-125 marker -- that you can take to determine if your endometrial cancer has spread to another part of your body. Susan54

Hi Susan @stparker54, I'd like to add my welcome. CA-125 can be used to monitor cancer treatments, and may be an initial indicator of spread. But more tests would need to be done to confirm or rule out metastasis. You can read more about it here:

You sure have had more than your fair share of cancers. This must've come as quite a blow to have a rare, aggressive form of uterine - clear cell uterine cancer. You might also be interested in this discussion:

Susan, what treatments have been suggested for you?
